Here, inclosed within a circle, is the buft of fir WILLIAM DR V RY, in armor. On the right fide of him these words: Hoc monimentum, fie juffit ROBERTUS DRURIUS, fil. eques aur. uxor faciendum curavit. On the left: Memoriæ GULIEL.

The DRURIES were a very confiderable family for fome centuries in the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk: and not undiftinguished in the hiftory of their county. A branch of them refided for many years at Hawfted in Suffolk. They have many antient monuments in the church: but time, or the more fatal fury of fanaticifm, has despoiled them of their infcriptions, and all other signatures, ex

cept

cept their coats of arms. One only (I mean of thofe that have had plates or or
naments of brass) has escaped uninjured; I fuppofe from being, till lately, almost
entirely concealed by the desk and pulpit. It has the figure of fir WILLIAM
DRURY, and a wife on each hand of him, all ftanding, with a numerous pro.
geny beneath them. The following is the inscription on a plate of brass, 24 in-
ches by 10.

Here lyeth clothed now in earth fyr WILLIAM DRURY, knyght;
Such one whyleft he lyved here was loved of every wyght.
Such temperance he dyd retayne, fuch prudent curtefy,
Such noble mynde, with iuftice ioyned fuch lyberality;
As fame that felf fhall found for me the glory of his name,
Much better then this metal mute can ay pronounce the fame.
The leventh of frofty Janguer, the gere of CHRIST, Ifynd.
A thousand fyve hundred fyfty seven his vital thryd untwind.:
Who yet doth lyve, and shall do styll, in hearts of them that knew him
God graunt the flyppes of fuch a stock in vertues to enfue hym.

The next monument is erected for one whofe name needs no fuch a memorial
as this; Dr. DONNE has fufficiently immortalized the daughter of his friend
and patron.
She is reprefented as large as life, in a reclining posture, her head
leaning on her left hand, fome emblematical perfonage ftrewing flowers upon her
from above. Her figure (in marble) was probably taken from a painting of her
which I have, in the fame attitude. The infcription is:

Quo pergas, viator, non habes:

Ad Gades omnium venifti, etiam ad tuas :
Hic jaces, fi probus es, ipfe,
Ipfa etenim hic jacet probitas.
